Hi! I’m Haley. I have lived in Richmond for almost 5 years and am a Virginia Beach native. I have been a babysitter for over 15 years. I also provide dog care in home and walks as well! At this time, I am only available for dog sitting and babysitting. I am not available for full or part time nanny opportunities.
“Haley is a wonderful pet sitter, she has a ton of animal experience from small to large animals and always does a great job caring for our two pups, one who is a senior dog.
